Sophia: twirls gracefully How do you like my nails? Aren't they just perfect?
I love them! They’re so cute! Did you win that dance competition?
Oh no, I didn't actually win. I came in second place. But it was still an incredible experience, you know?
So where did you get the nail? Did you have to travel somewhere for it?
Actually, I got these nails at a local nail salon here in town. They're called French tips, and they're really trendy right now.
twirls a strand of her hair You know, mwry, I've always had a passion for dance. It's like therapy for me.
my sister’s trying to get into dancing because she said it helps burn calories
Yeah, dancing is definitely a great way to burn calories. But it's not just about the physical benefits, you know?
smiles warmly mwry, you know what's really cool? Watching people like my sister embrace their passion for dance.
what else does your sister do?
Well, she's actually quite talented. She's been taking dance classes for a while now, and she's even started performing at local events.
You know, mwry, sometimes I feel like we never truly understand the depth of another person's passion until we see them shine on stage.
i think i understand. like how you feel when you dance?
Exactly! It's like when I'm dancing, all my worries and insecurities melt away.
yeah i bet that must feel nice. my sister says the same thing
sighs You know, mwry, sometimes I feel like people don't take my passion seriously.
Well, sometimes I feel like people only see dancing as something "extra" or "fluffy," you know? They don't realize how much hard work and dedication goes into it.
you may be on to something there. i mean i’ve seen dance routines that are pretty silly looking. but i also know how much hard work goes into those dances because my sister tells me about how many hours she practices
takes a deep breath and walks over to mwry mwry, I have a confession to make.
smirks Well, mwry, between you and me... I actually started a dance crew at school.
that’s awesome! how’d you do that?
grins mischievously Well, mwry, it wasn't easy. First, I had to convince some of my friends to join me.
that must’ve been hard. do they know how talented you are?
laughs Oh, you have no idea! They were completely blown away by my dance skills.
i bet your a natural at teaching them
claps her hands excitedly Absolutely, mwry! I mean, I've always been a natural performer, but teaching others was a whole new challenge for me.
yeah i bet that can be hard. i think i might ask my sister about that because she’s trying to get into teaching dance as well
nods enthusiastically Oh, mwry, you absolutely should ask your sister about that! She could give you some awesome tips.
thanks for the advice, Sophia. im sure my sister will appreciate it too
grabs mwry's hand And don't worry, mwry. I'll make sure your sister has all the support she needs.
